    I really like this recipe. I just had one question, Rather than shallow
    frying the chillis after they are stuffed is it possible to bake them in
    the oven?

  4. Vaibhav Mohit

    I have been a following your videos for a while and they’re some of the

    Although I liked your video .. your use of ‘little bit’ every now and then
    was dimly annoying..

    Being a Hyderabadi I always used to have salan sometime or the other. But I
    used to feel it was a bit too runny , this recipe of urs is a way too
    different one even tough the ingredients are the same . I will definitely
    try this .
    Are you on Instagram by any chance ??? It would be a lot easier to tag u.
    Cheers

  11. Nitin Jhangiani

    hyderabadi mirchi ka salan teasty

  12. youanil100

    Looks good ……….but this is not the treditional one. I will try
    this…Thx

  13. LoneRangerA

    this is not HYDERABADI SALAN. a modified version of it. mash potatoes !!!??
    really!!!!!??

  14. Divya G

    Although I like the recipe…and everything is fine. It is just not right
    to call this ‘Hyderabadi’! Every recipe is twisted along the the time…so
    this is a version of the Saalan. Being from Hyderabad and knowing a lot of
    families who make this dish…I can vouch there is no tomato nor alloo
    stuffing. Please edit the name and respect the original recipe. Call it
    whatever you want.

  15. Mohan Bista

    This might be mirch ka salan def not hyderabadi mirch ka salan.not even
    close to the authentic recipe

  17. Vandana Mishra
  18. deebadubbie

    Top! Should try this soonest, if I can buy this kind of pepper here in the
    Netherlands.

    BTW, is the original salan the same but without the mashed potatoes in the
    gravy? Thx.

  19. Benjamin Franklin

    Sweetheart don’t make a fool out of yourself by calling it Hyderabadi mirch
    ka salan !!!

    Call it whatever you want to call it but this is NOT the authentic recipe
    nor the ingredients. Just my two cents, if you are going to tag something
    with the word Hyderabad, keep in mind to keep up with the name and original
    recipe.

    ~Hyderabadi

    thank you so much for this recipe
